WE ARE THE CHICKS THAT DIG THE DIRT!

Thumbs Up Garden Care isn’t your average landscaping business.

We’re Nicole & Michelle — the two women behind the machines, the ideas and the hard work that goes into every Thumbs Up project.

Established in 2006, we’ve grown from our garden-care beginnings into a specialised landscaping, excavation and earthworks business, taking on everything from complete property transformations to the steep, awkward and challenging jobs that others often shy away from.

And if there’s one thing we love, it’s a challenge.

BIG IDEAS. BIG MACHINES. SERIOUS ATTENTION TO DETAIL.

We bring together practical knowledge, creativity, machinery and a genuine eye for detail to create outdoor spaces that don’t just look great — they work.

We specialise in sloping and difficult blocks, where precise earthworks can completely change how a property is used.

Whether that means carving usable areas from a hillside, building natural rock retaining walls and steps, reshaping a driveway, solving drainage problems, preparing sites, moving serious amounts of earth or transforming an entire landscape, we love looking at a property and seeing the potential in it.

Our work includes:

• Excavation & earthworks
• Natural rock, concrete & sleeper retaining walls
• Driveway construction, resurfacing & repairs
• Drainage, spoon drains & culverts
• Site cuts, levelling & land clearing
• Sloping & difficult-access properties
• Garden construction & complete landscape transformations
• Turf & synthetic turf
• Rural property improvements

TWO WOMEN. ONE TEAM. NO HANDBALLING YOUR JOB.

One of the biggest differences with Thumbs Up is simple:

The people you meet are the people who do the work.

We’re a hands-on team of two. From the first conversation and planning through to operating the machinery, building, shaping and putting the finishing touches on your project, Nicole and Michelle are there doing it.

That means your project doesn’t disappear through layers of salespeople, supervisors and subcontractors.

We know what was discussed.
We know what the vision is.
And we take personal pride in seeing it through.

We have different strengths, different perspectives and probably more than a few spirited discussions about the best way to tackle something — but that combination is exactly what makes us such a strong team.

WE DON’T JUST MOVE DIRT — WE TRANSFORM PROPERTIES.

Some of our favourite projects start with a customer saying:

“We don’t know what we can do with this.”

That’s where we come alive.

We love finding practical solutions to awkward levels, steep slopes, poor drainage, tired driveways and outdoor areas that simply aren’t being used to their potential.

Our goal isn’t to force every property into the same cookie-cutter design. We work with the land, the surroundings and what our customers actually need to create something functional, attractive and built to last.

From a few tonnes of rock to a complete property transformation, we approach every job with the same philosophy:

Do it properly. Take pride in it. And leave behind something we’d be happy to have at our own place.
